THE BOOK: 2 Corinthians

We who know Christ in the Church today need to guard against the two extremes of CRITICIZING the early church, and also IDEALIZING the early church.  The early church, including the one at Corinth, had lots of problems... but so do we.  Somehow, God used them, and He uses us in spite of us.  Humility... In 2 Corinthians the people of Corinth had repented... most of them.  Paul, and God, pursued them and wouldn't give up.  We need to do the same in our churches.
